Biological Constraints on Host-Range Expansion by the Wood-Boring Beetle Phoracantha semipunctata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that Oviposition behaviors of the adult beetles could restrict the host range of P. semipunctata to Eucalyptus species, and that oviposition preferences correspond well with performance of the larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Substrate-Borne Vibrational Signals of Two Congeneric Stink Bug Species, Thyanta pallidovirens and T. custator accerra (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
TL;DR: Differences in songs, combined with differences in male-produced pheromones, may play a role in the reproductive isolation of these congeners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design factors that influence the performance of flight intercept traps for the capture of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from the subfamilies Lamiinae and Cerambycinae.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that intercept trap design, treatment of trap surfaces with a lubricant, and the type of collection cup all influence the capture of beetles from the subfamilies Lamiinae and Cerambycinae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the Sex Pheromone of a Protected Species, the Spanish Moon Moth Graellsia isabellae
Jocelyn G. Millar,J. Steven McElfresh,Carmen Romero,Marta Vila,Neus Marí-Mena,Carlos Lopez-Vaamonde +5 more
TL;DR: In preliminary field trials, lures loaded with this compound attracted male moths from populations of this species at a number of widely separated field sites in France, Switzerland, and Spain, clearly demonstrating the utility of pheromones in sampling potentially endangered insect species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification, Synthesis, and Field Testing of the Sex Pheromone of the Citrus Leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella
TL;DR: It is reported here that (7Z,11Z)-hexadecadienal is only one component of the pheromone, with the other critical component being the analogous trienal, ( 7Z, 11Z,13E)-hexADEcatrienal, which was identified in the effluvia from live female moths by coupled gas chromatography-electroantennography using nonpolar and polar GC columns.
